Unnecessary noise from whispering, talking, candy wrappers, etc. during a program is not acceptable. Reading, studying, and writing letters during a program are also inappropriate. from the Abilene, Texas Music Teachers Association Etiquette for the AudienceAUDIENCE • Recitals are a special occasion and so it is customary to dress nicely. • Please arrive a little early in order to find a comfortable place to sit. • Once the recital begins, please listen and be quiet. Crying babies should be taken out. They are not happy! • If you arrive late, please wait to enter between pieces when you hear applause. • Do not enter while someone is performing. • The conductor, leader, or soloist will bow and your response is to applaud politely! • Compositions that have movements or suites are, in general, performed without applause in the middle. • Respect the performers.

Reading, studying, and writing letters during a program are also inappropriate. • For the comfort of others, stay home if you have a cold or a cough.

Be sure to ask the program director or teacher when you may take photographs. (Usually it is best to wait until the end of the performance). • Enjoy!
